Wireless internet broadband sounds really cool. Your laptop can now be a portable radio, or television, or telephone – although, you know what? We already have those things.
Here’s the thing: it’s probably more likely to resemble something new than something old. And nobody’s wondered what.
Woosh Wireless – formerly Walker Wireless – is close to finalising an interconnect deal with Telecom which will let Woosh customers make phone calls to people on other telco networks using its broadband wireless modems.
Trials of the Internet telephony service are expected to begin next month.
Woosh Wireless chief executive Bob Smith says Woosh has been working on the deal for six months and is now close to signing off with Telecom.
